In this beautiful work the woman's white dress aligns her with the white unicorn, an allusion to her virtue and innocence. Brilliantly-coloured leaves speckle the enchanting blue background of the hidden lake the two are crossing. The light appears to be radiating from the unicorn's golden, magic horn which casts a glow onto the woman's face like a halo. Like so many mythical creatures, the unicorn has a long and turbulent past. It's been on the Earth for as long as we have - or, depending on whom you believe, even longer. And like some of its mythical brothers and sisters - vampires, witches, fairies, mermaids - it has a peculiar hold on us. We've told tales of the unicorn through folk stories, legends, art and literature for thousands of years, and its appeal seems to just be getting stronger.
